Santa

We took the kids to visit with Santa a few weeks ago (yes, and I'm just now getting around to blogg about it) better late than never :) It was interesting to see how the kids reacted. We had a bit of reverse roles. Bailey (my usually outgoing, carefree personality) proceeded with caution however, Blake on the other hand ran right up to Santa and jumped on his lap as if they were long lost firends. I am so excited for Christmas this year. The kids are getting old enough to get excited with me this year! Hope the Holidays are finding you all well!

Barbie Cake

I distinctly remember as a child, having a barbie cake for my birthday that my grandma had made for me. Last year I wanted so bad, to make one for Bailey, but I failed miserably. I asked my mom that next time she visited, to teach me how to make one. Not only did she teach me, but she made it look easy, giving me the confidence to try one myself. Unfortunately Bailey wanted a butterfly cake this year... maybe next year she'll want a Barbie cake! Here are the pictures of my mom's masterpiece!

Mission Impossible--Or not?

Bailey had a birthday, she turned 4 yesterday. While my mom was visiting for thanksgiving she taught me how to make a barbie cake, which I'd planned on duplicating for her birthday cake. However Bailey had something different in mind! She decided a butterfly cake would be better, after much effort to get her to change her mind, I realized it wasn't going to happen, so a butterfly cake it was! I figured it couldn't be that hard, my mom showed me the basics! After nearly 10 phone calls to my mom this is what I came up with. Not to bad huh?
